Who makes Thomas Trains and can I buy them at wholesale without having
a store front? If so, what website do I find more information at and
apply for becoming a vendor of Thomas Trains?

This is the Thomas the Tank Engine website.

Cheers

I have seen some of that stuff at "Big Lots" the liquidator. Be careful
of what you buy. You don't want to get stuck with someone elses problems.

HIT Entertainment plc was established in 1989, and was originally the
international distribution arm of Jim Henson Productions called Henson
International Television. However, following the death of Jim Henson
in 1990, the business was sold to several members of the company's
management and renamed HIT Entertainment to prevent any future
confusion between the two companies.

Traded on the London Stock Exchange (HTE), HIT Entertainment is a FTSE
250 company with a market cap of over $US600 million.

HIT's catalogue of characters include Bob the Builder, Thomas the Tank
Engine, Barney, Yoko! Jakamoko! Toto!, Kipper, Angelina Ballerina,
Rubbadubbers, Pingu, and The Wiggles. HIT also owns redistribution
rights to several other shows.
